A treatise of episcopacy; confuting by Scripture, reason, and the churches testimony, that sort of diocesan churches, prelacy, and government, which casteth out the primitive church-species, episcopacy, ministry and discipline and confoundeth the Christian world by corruption, usurpation, schism, and persecution. Meditated in the year 1640. when the et cætera oath was imposed. Written 1671. and cast by. Published 1680, by the importunity of our superiours, who demand the reasons of our nonconformity.
